Chapter 500: Each Has Injuries
The fire was already very fierce. There was a loud bang above the Tongfu Inn, and everyone retreated together.
The purple flame was so powerful that it could not be extinguished by water. In just a moment, half of the inn was burned down. Fortunately, this inn was a single-family house, so the fire did not affect other nearby buildings.
But there was a lot of black ash floating in the air, choking the onlookers and making them cough.
"Who set the fire?"
He Lingchuan and Fan Sheng both pointed at each other: "Him!"
County Magistrate Tian suddenly felt a headache.
He Lingchuan saw that his face was so bitter that water was about to drip out, so he walked over and patted his shoulder, whispering: "Forget it, I'll help you, and put it on the prince's account."
It's not that he was soft-hearted, but that County Magistrate Tian's appearance was particularly appropriate and timely, effectively stopping the other party from continuing to attack.
These two brothers from the Tongxin Guard are not only powerful in their own cultivation, but also seem to have a great background. He Lingchuan only has one helper, the tiger Jiao Yu, and it is too disadvantageous to fight against them.
He knew the other party's plan very well, and the moment Magistrate Tian called out the prince's special envoy, Fan Sheng could no longer pretend to be dumb and pretend not to know the identity of his opponent, so the battle had to end.
Magistrate Tian hurriedly said: "Thank you, special envoy."
As soon as He Lingchuan moved, Fan Sheng strode over and said coldly: "Want to leave?"
"What else?"
Fan Sheng pointed at the giant bear: "You hurt my brother and you want to leave, where is such a good thing in the world?"
The giant bear didn't dare to touch the ground with its front paws, and stood on three legs.
He Lingchuan also called Jiao Yu to his side, pointed at its chest and front paws and said: "My brother was also injured by you, how are you going to compensate?"
He didn't lie, there were several lacerations on the tiger's fur, although it was not hit directly by the axe, but it suffered several axe winds, and its front paws were burned by the purple flame.
Magistrate Tian said weakly: "You two..." Are you here again?
At this time, several people came out of the crowd, and the leader was Zhongsun Mou.
He looked at the situation in the field and spoke to smooth things over: "Please give me some face and go to the medical hall to assess the injuries and then pay the compensation, how about that?"
"Why bother?" He Lingchuan said shamelessly, "I am proficient in medical theory, you ask this giant bear to come every day, and I will treat its injuries. I guarantee that it will get better within a month."
Bear monsters are relatively simple in temperament. If they are exposed to the soul-catching mirror for thirty days, who knows what changes this guy will have.
He Lingchuan thought about it and had some expectations.
Fan Sheng's chest rose and fell twice, and he refused with a sullen face: "No need."
The violent bear has a strong vitality and outstanding physique. Even if no medicine is used, this injury can heal itself within a month.
"Then it's okay?" He Lingchuan shrugged, "Goodbye."
After that, he and the tiger turned around and left.
Fan Sheng clenched his fist, and his knuckles crackled.
But he still stood there, only asking Zhongsun Mou: "Why are you here to be a good guy?"
"Anyway, we can't do anything to him for the time being, so it's better to let Brother Fan San recover and rest as soon as possible." It's better to look good. Zhongsun Mou thought to himself, I reminded you not to be arrogant, who can you blame if you don't listen?
But his words sounded nice on the surface, Fan Sheng snorted, and didn't scold him in court.
He originally thought that He Xiao was just a teenager, and a visitor from a small country, how powerful could he be? Three or two knives would solve it.
Who knew that the other party was so slippery.
Yes, slippery.
His cultivation may not be very powerful, but like a loach, he repeatedly didn't let him catch the vitals.
Opposite was the carriage and horse post, he went to ask for a carriage to transport the violent bear away.
Magistrate Tian was all smiles, Zhongsunmou glanced at him: "Did you help He Xiao hide Fu Songhua?"
Maintainer Tian was startled, and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, there is no such thing!"
"Without the help of a local snake like you, where can he hide people?"
Maintainer Tian thought that Baisha was so big, where could he not hide? But he was still respectful on the surface: "Special envoys act, why do you need to discuss with me?"
Zhongsunmou snorted, ignored him, and turned to get on Fan Sheng's carriage.
Maintainer Tian saw the carriage rumbling away, and the smile on his face disappeared.
These high-ranking officials from Lingxu City always look down on people. But what Zhongsunmou said was, where would the special envoy hide the prisoner?
In the inn in the city, or in the cave in the wild?
Baisha is a scenic city, but it is still a small place after all.
This young special envoy is bold, but Magistrate Tian does not think he dares to send the imperial prisoner from Lingxu City away.
Forcibly taking Fu Songhua away could barely be said to be a special envoy asking him to assist in the investigation. This conflict was just a friction between two bureaucratic systems. As long as the King of Chiyan came forward, it would be easy to make it go away.
But if Fu Songhua left Baisha, the nature would be completely different. Lingxu City could charge He Xiao with the crime of assisting in absconding.
So, the special envoy must not make a fool of himself.
The giant bear was so big that even if Fan Sheng requisitioned the largest carriage, its body would almost fill up the space inside the carriage, and the two had to sit in the gap.
"I still have some good medicine, which can be used by Brother Fan San." Zhongsun Mou's attitude towards the Fan brothers was like that of Magistrate Tian towards him.
Fan Sheng said coldly: "No need." He still looked down on Zhongsun Mou's medicine.
During the conversation, his hands were not idle either, and he quickly applied medicine to the giant bear, which groaned in pain.
In just a moment, the bear's blood had soaked the wooden boards underneath. The bear's originally shiny fur had been burned and charred by the purple flames, and now it was covered in scars and looked horrible.
"With the Yuan force protecting the body, the vicious force of the boy's knife can't penetrate." Fan Sheng patted its head lightly, "Bear it, your bones are also cut, it will take another six or seven days to heal."
The giant bear's vitality and recovery ability are amazing. Don't look at the miserable state now, in fact, this is just a superficial injury for it.
"The sorcerer said that he was performing a ritual to find Fu Songhua's whereabouts, why did this He come here and say that he was cursed to death?" Fan Sheng looked up at him, "You sent a letter to Qingding City to ask me to come and assist in the investigation, why didn't you say that this man is full of force?" If you know yourself and the enemy, you won't fight like this today.
"He obstructed the investigation, so it's not surprising to say anything." Zhongsun Mou sighed. Why didn't he say it? He reminded the brothers several times, what can he do if they don't listen? "This guy is cunning and hard-handed. He is not an easy person to deal with."
"He looks young, but he has a lot of skills. Given time..." Fan Sheng frowned, "Haven't you figured out his background yet?"
"It seems he is from Fu Country. I don't know why Fu Shanyue trusts him." Zhongsun Mou shook his head, "The time is too short and the information is too little."
"It's not a big deal to appoint foreigners as special envoys in Beijia. They appear every now and then." Beijia has a long history, and there is nothing new under the sun. "You are always spying everywhere. I thought you had the ability to figure out his background."
"There is a limit to human power. Otherwise, why would I ask for help from Brother Fan?" Zhongsun Mou pretended not to hear the thorn in Fan Sheng's words, "Kill this He guy, and then take Fu Songhua back, and I can go back to Lingxu City to report."
"This job has nothing to do with you. Why do you have to interfere?" Fan Sheng applied medicine to the giant bear and began to bandage it.
"..." Zhongsun Mou whispered, "I just want to share the worries of the emperor."
Fan Sheng sneered, saying one thing and doing another. Is this guy trying to win the credit? He kicked the iron plate.
The violent bear groaned twice and cried out in pain. Fan Sheng stroked its forehead and said, "Heal your wounds quickly and come back with me to kill that kid."
He asked Zhongsun Mou again, "Kill He Xiao, and my elder brother will owe you a favor, right?"
Zhongsun Mou said seriously, "After this is done, I will never dare to bother the Fan brothers again in the future."
"Then where is Fu Songhua hidden? You can find it out, right?"
"Not yet." Zhongsun Mou saw him glaring and hurriedly said, "But soon. He Xiao is not a local resident, and he knows only a few people here, so it's easy to track him down."
...
After running more than ten feet away from the crowd, He Lingchuan still felt the pain in his abdomen from being kicked by Fan Sheng, especially when he inhaled.
He could only adjust his breathing to reduce the pain, and at the same time stuffed himself with a pill.
Jiao Yu was a little worried: "You have an abdominal injury, are you okay?"
"Yes." He Lingchuan smiled bitterly, "Fan Sheng's strength is very strong."
When Fan Sheng kicked him, the soul-capturing mirror's master-protecting function was immediately activated, reducing a lot of damage. Otherwise, the power of that kick was enough to split mountains and rocks, and it was enough to instantly kick He Lingchuan to death before the enlightenment of Sanxinyuan.
Now, even if he runs, the true power in his dantian can also relieve the injury in an endless stream.
The great progress in cultivation can only be fully reflected after such a big battle.
Now is not the time to sit down and recuperate. He said to Jiao Yu: "Zhongsun Mou has set a series of traps here. Please ask the sorcerer to deal with me first; if it doesn't work, there are still two brothers Fan Sheng waiting for you."
"This pair of brothers is so powerful, especially Fan Sheng." Jiao Yu was still frightened, "If I fight him alone, I'm afraid I can't last ten rounds."
They can't beat Fan Sheng two against one. Jiao Yu knew in his heart that if He Lingchuan didn't use a surprise attack just now, he would lose.
"If Zhongsun Mou had this person around him earlier, he would not have allowed me to capture Fu Songhua." He Lingchuan affirmed, "It must be the foreign aid he invited temporarily. But they are still too arrogant and think that killing us is effortless. Otherwise, if the sorcerer was asked to cast a spell in the suburbs, there would definitely not be so many civilians watching nearby, and Magistrate Tian would not appear."
Thinking of this, he was moved.
Could it be because Zhongsun Mou and others are particularly confident in the nightmare invited by the sorcerer?
A monster like the Hundred-Faced Nightmare is indeed not something that a player of He Lingchuan's level can contend with. The more Zhongsun Mou knows about the Hundred-Faced Nightmare, the more he believes that it can easily get rid of He Lingchuan.
Then the sorcerer has no need to leave the city to cast a spell, and the ambush of the Fan brothers is just a backup method.
Probably in his mind, even if He Lingchuan can escape the calculations of the Hundred-Faced Nightmare, his soul will be seriously injured and he will be unable to chase the sorcerer;
Even if He Lingchuan chases him for revenge, his own strength will be damaged, and he is definitely not a match for the Fan brothers.
No matter how you look at it, He Lingchuan has no hope of winning.
